Ah, I believe I have found a perfect solution to why the scan came out the way it did. Mind if I try to correct the scanning and resubmit it? It was basically because the words were on top of the pictures but in a box-like format or configuration if ya will, so Jamie, please just disregard the other scan I did yesterday, I made sure to get only the words this time, with the angle of the book just right, that was my problem yesterday, sorry. I'll let you know when I resubmit it by putting BSO Zathura Hold for Jamie, will that work for you?
